My wife spotted this road jewel today, snapped the pic, then shared with me to make me smile.

Also to motivate me, I suspect...

It's real nice, just doesn't look right with those wheels, my opinion....

Not a whole Pontiac, but random Pontiac sighting none the less.

Yesterday I was driving down a road that I drive probably 5-10 times a week, and have for the last 20 years. This time though, something caught my eye. The road runs parallel to I-84 and has a small stream in between. There on the other side of the stream was a 1968 Pontiac hubcap. Recognized it with just a glance. I wonder how I never noticed it before? The center lucite isn't even faded! I wonder if it's been buried along the interstate for decades and was just uncovered by erosion from recent rains?

The first picture I saw on the road 67 like the hood tach

The other 3 pulled up to my driveway
The white Catalina car is a 400 4-SPD
The 68 GTO 400 Auto
The 74 is 350 4-SPD original owner

I’m on a corner and they see the formula so they stopped by in the last 6 months

I started a thread here years ago, asking opinions of the 55-57 Chevrolets vs. the same year Pontiacs...I was surprised many here preferred the Pontiacs...

Took a turn down a side street in Brewer, ME today and something caught my eye- had to do a quick U turn for a better look!

'29 Pontiac hot rod with Pontiac power! Pretty cool car, needs a little TLC. Asking price seems way high for the condition.
